WINDING UP
PREPARE YOUR WATCH FOR TAKEOFF
Borrowing engineering principles from NASA training machines, the new Doettling gyroscopic watch winder will perform a circular ballet with three concentric rings hypnotizing the onlooker while it takes good care to wind your automatic mechanical watches. Other versions of this type of winder have been proposed, but Doettling takes the function and construction to a higher plane. Supplied with counterweights and superbly finished, the custom controls allow you to customize the settings and setup that will make it the perfect home for one of your most prized watches when not on your wrist. Sprung brackets and gimbaled hoops perform their act under glass allowing for a full view of the seemingly unending sequence of patterns formed by the multiple rings. Now represented by Esper Luxury group in North America, you can reserve your spot in the limited production run( there is a four-month delivery time as these are made to order) and learn more about this winder( about $ 12,000) at www. esperluxe. com.
